Youth not as healthy as they think
Some 83% of youngsters think they lead a healthy lifestyle but only 47% actually do, according to research by a government think-tank.
The survey shows that 33% of young people binge drink (consume more than five glasses of alcohol over a short period). But 46% think six glasses is not excessive, the survey shows.
The think-tank puts the cost to society of drinking, smoking and overeating at €7.8bn.
